Re : City/County comprehensive plan litigation
Dear John:
Attached please find our response to the proposed language
changes discussed at our meeting between you and I , and Bill Royce.
I am still puzzled as to why you would place a draft before the
BOCC for approval ; we have a planner looking at the language as you
do with Bill , so I am not going to place my stamp of approval on
any language without first discussing it with our planner .
I see that this topic is up for discussion at tomorrow's Board
meeting . From our prospective , you might inform the Commissioners
that (1) the language in this latest draft represents a position
that I feel I could in good conscience recommend to my Board; and
(2) we are drawing near to discovery deadlines with the hearing
officer , and if this draft is not acceptable , we have got keep
within our timetables in order to prepare for hearing , if
necessary .
It appears we are down to semantics to a certain degree, but
if a joint meeting between the Boards would assist us in resolving
these differences , we are available . I believe the evening of July
27 was mentioned as an open date .
Kindest Regards ,
John R. Cook
